4.0 out of 5 stars
Rhythmic in the spotlight,
By A Customer
This review is from: I Am a Gymnast (Young Dreamers) (Hardcover)
Jane Feldman does a great job introducing a young rhythmic gymnast and her world. This wonderfully photographed book is written from the perspective of 8 year old gymnast, Mackenzie Foster, as she practices her sport, competes and performs under the guidance of her coach, Wendy Hilliard, whose program in New York City provides gymnastics opportunities to kids who wouldn't otherwise get a chance to participate in the sport. Few books for children focus on rhythmic gymnastics, and this one is sure to be enjoyed by any young girl interested in gymnastics or dance. Parents will appreciate the healthy images and messages about sports conveyed in "I Am a Gymnast".

Deserves ongoing mention and recommendation,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Am a Gymnast (Young Dreamers) (Hardcover)
I Am A Gymnast deserves ongoing mention and recommendation as a fine introduction to the art of gymnastics. An eight year old who loves the sport provides photo-enhanced details of her activities, her competitions, train, fellow gymnasts and life. A revealing picturebook.
